Abstract—The current state of development and prospects of using metasurfaces in optics, in particular, in holography, is reviewed. Special attention is paid to the physics of the phase delay control of the meta-atom scattered radiation as well as to the transformation of the incident wavefront by the metasurface. A number of examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of radiation focusing and the formation of holographic images by metasurfaces of different types.
